AI Editor at Fortune Magazine. Author of “Mastering AI: A Survival Guide to Our Superpowered Future”(Simon & Schuster, July 2024; Bedford Square, August 2024).
I’m excited to share that I’ve written a book. It’s about AI, the subject I’ve covered closely as a journalist for the past eight years. It’s called Mastering AI: A Survival Guide to Our Superpowered Future. And it's now available for pre-order in the U.S. and the U.K! U.S. orders can be purchased here: https://lnkd.in/eNpP46j3 U.K. and the Commonwealth orders here: https://lnkd.in/eVffXHEP Mastering AI has been praised by technology journalist Ashlee Vance as “easily the best exploration to date on the perils and promise of AI." Brad Stone, author of the best-selling The Everything Store, says it is “a timely and urgent exploration of Al's dizzying acceleration, and of all the ways this new technology can either improve our society or totally upend it.” Publisher’s Weekly writes “striking a balance between bullishness and caution, Kahn sets out a helpful roadmap for harnessing the promise of AI while navigating its perils. The result is one of the more convincing assessments of how AI will transform society." The book is about the impact AI will have on our society and on our ourselves—changing everything from how we work and teach our children to how we think and relate to one another. I argue AI will give us all superpowers—increasing productivity and sparking a new era of entrepreneurship, personalized learning, improved medicine, and creative expression. But AI will do these things only if we are careful and deliberate about how we build it and choose to use it. The dangers this technology poses are real and numerous. The most pressing risks are the ones you’ve probably heard most about, such as mass unemployment or the possibility that AI will wipe out humanity. No, the real dangers are that AI will worsen inequality and diminish our human intelligence, degrading vital skills, from knowing how to write to understanding how to build relationships. I call out these risks and suggests ways we can avoid them. Pre-orders are vital to a book’s success and your support means a lot to me.
